Hey, well I'm in the market for a learners sport/tour bike.. however I'm a) a newbie and b) not having much luck.
I'm pretty fussy, and It's boiled down to the ZZR or ZXR250, or maybe a CBR250 .. this is purely cosmetic, all I know of bikes is the difference between two stroke and four stroke (I'm really a newbie, go easy!).
I'm 6'1 90kg (more lean than fat, if that helps any).. my old man has a ZZR1100 and has given me the run down on what he can but he's admitted that after buying his 1100 he didn't care for other bikes much and kinda lost touch of the mechanical world :P But he advised me to sit on a 250 for a LONG time before making a decision because of my height.
Now I'm dead keen to get a bike and if a 250 is the only way to start then so be it, BUT. I've heard you can get exceptions from the 250 rule with a dr. cert saying your height will be unsafe for 250 and can go up to 400's ?
That's what I've heard anyway, I'm not too interested in speed(though I know i'll get the bug sooner or later), I just want a bike that I like and is comfortable to ride.
Anyway a biker friend pointed me towards this website and I thought I'd try my luck with my questions here.
Thanks in advance! :P
